Lake Merritt Newest Project Tour & Walk | Oakland

Wild Oakland Walks

Wild Oakland is a 100% volunteer organization, from the Guiding Committee to the walk leaders who donate their time because of a shared passion for ecology and education. Their mission is to provide free, fun, relevant, and commitment-free environmental education to busy urbanites.

The walks are geared towards adults and teens, but parents are encouraged to bring their young children.

Wild Oakland Walks

Tour the newest Measure DD project at the south end of Lake Merritt, learning about the effort underway to reverse the long history of urban encroachment upon this tidal lagoon.

You’ll visit the newly-opened channel, tidal marsh, and stormwater treatment features. Learn how the water flow is managed by the flood control station at 7th Street, and discuss the upcoming projects that will help re-establish the connection between Lake Merritt and the Bay.

Your guide will be Joel Peter, Measure DD Program Manager for the City of Oakland. Meet in front of Lake Chalet Restaurant.
